We thought it would be helpful, after the tragic loss of Liam Payne, to have a brief discussion about how we're feeling in regards to this loss and also give y'all a replay of our 2022 episode about grieving as a fangirl. We will be discussing the heinous way the press handled the loss of Liam in an episode soon.
"Grief is a complex state of being, one that takes a person through an array of emotions from anger to sadness to acceptance and everything in between. Grieving can feel incredibly personal, and as a fangirl, the outside world judges you when you’re celebrating, so when you’re grieving it’s a whole other ballpark. So what does grieving look like as a fangirl, especially when you’re dealing with everything from death to disbandment?
In this throwback episode, we’re heading back to university to get a crash course in the psychology behind grief, and how grieving doesn’t just belong to those who have a kinship to those who are lost. When music is what most of us rely on when we’re in times of mourning and dispair, it can be so much harder to deal with grieving as a fangirl when those in your inner circle don’t understand your loss. From the death of artists like Elvis, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and more to hiatuses that turn to disbandment, breakups that lead to comebacks, and bands who ghost their fans forever, we’re looking into it all this week!"

This week on Name 3 Songs…
⚡ Fangirl Nonsense: Pop music is SO back. Both Sabrina Carpenter and Addison Rae have release the most perfect pop songs. Sabrina is giving us sugar coated mellow drama while Addison is channeling Lana Del Rey and Britney Spears on “Diet Pepsi.”
⚡ We’re exploring how Charli XCX’s latest album brat became a cultural phenomenon that reached all the way to the presidential election. We first look at how brat. serves as a reflection of the current state of culture and society – the rise of indie sleaze and club culture, the reaction to Barbie summer (hello brat summer), the rebellion of what it means to be a 30 year old in today’s society. After diving into the cultural significance of the album itself, we dissect the branding of brat that propelled the message into mainstream culture. From the “brat wall” in New York City, to the text that instantly became a meme, to the aptly timed “Apple” + coconut tree mashup. Brat is a moment that will live on forever in pop culture history, and you just had to be there.
